New Apple MacBook Pro Really Is That Eco-Friendly

The lovable 13-inch MacBook Pro measures only an inch thick, despite a built-in optical drive, and uses the same Unibody enclosure carved out from a thick slab of aluminum. These are the fundamentals--a metallic chassis and a thin design--that have contributed to Apple's success. Beyond that, the MacBook Pro 13-inch (now with the "Pro" moniker for $1,199) brings back the FireWire port, lowers its price, and for the first time in the company's history, adds the elusive SD slot.

Apple goes out of its way to emphasize the MacBook Pro 13-inch's green credentials, and we acknowledge them as well. As with its predecessor, the laptop is certified for Energy Star 5.0, EPEAT Gold, and RoHS. The use of an LED display eliminates the use of hazardous materials (mercury and arsenic) and promotes energy efficiency. Furthermore, it has an excellent recycling program in place, and the use of a non-removable battery across the board curbs the amount of waste heading into a landfill. Our energy consumption tests further cements the MacBook Pro 13-inch's GreenTech Approved nod, as our P3 International Kill-A-Watt meter measured a 13-Watt reading in idle state--one Watt below Energy Star's maximum.
